Simla serves banana leaf meals with a variety of traditional vegetable dishes and non-vegetarian staples like Chicken Varuval.
THE tradition of eating rice and curries on a banana leaf is believed to have been brought to Malaysian shores by South Indian migrants.
In the old days, a banana leaf meal at a restaurant always included free top-ups of vegetables and different types of gravy, but today, while most restaurants will top up the gravy for free, some may charge for extra vegetables.
